I never figured out how to get it to work inside of an NVDA addon either. You could try bs4, cssutils, or tinycss. Unfortunately, they all require xml.dom. NVDA excluded it from its Python library for

You would use api.getFocusObject().parent.positionInfo() most likely.

I wouldn't overwrite focus with the parent object. It could become confusing when quickly browsing code. If you are trying to get the position of the list item, look for a property/method on the paren

Focus = api.getFocusObject() Focus.parent.setFocus() Should do the trick. See code found in the developer toolkit addon for plenty of examples of how it works.

Hi, I need to make an application’s menu system usable with NVDA. I was thinking of making an addon for it, but don’t know how to detect the currently focused menu item. Is there any way to do this? T

Hi, I don’t know how far you would get in C++. In Python, it is impossible because NVDA only exposes the accessibility tree. If you want to access the underlying dom, you would need xml.dom. Unfortuna

Also keep in mind that NVDA can’t make use of modules that require the cython compiler or setup.py. For example, trying to use bs4, or cssutils is impossible because xml.dom requires a compiled versio

If its only download stats taken from the website, no problem. It gets tricky on the privacy issue when you start asking users if you can track their usage and favorite/most commonly used features. Se

Hi, NVDA already does this for itself. It doesn’t make any sense asking add-on users to allow it for each add-on. From my experience, add-on users aren’t interested much in providing stats like this b

Hi, Thanks for the support. I will have to try some simple tests in Chrome. On the desktop environment side of things, I might have figured out how to avoid the NVDA add-on idea completely, and go wit

Is this even worth putting into an NVDA add-on then? Why not have the add-on for desktop environments and a browser extension for web content? The only question then, is the layout of the browser exte

Hi, After sorting out the problem, I came up with the following that works to this point. Grab the addon’s path from addon.path property. Append ‘\lib’ to the addon.path property. insert the path abov

Hi, I was able to import html.parser. Unfortunately, I receive an error: import error: no such module _markupbase. Further exploration of the topic concludes that _markupbase is a CPython module in th

At this point, ideal isn’t an option, and I am ready to accept that fact. There isn’t a problem with importing html/xml into my addon. However, attempting to import html.parser violates the relative i

Hi, Importing libraries/modules in my addon aren’t a problem in general. When NVDA removed parser from the html library that it uses, it broke other external libraries someone could use in addons. Now
